Hi All

Familiar story, following a tractor last night --- large clod of earth = small dimple about 25mm dia on the bonnet.
Damage occured under the bonnet stripe about an inch from the front edge.
To the casual observer this may not show but to me of course it is the size of a football.

Anyone know the best way to repair this sort of damage.
I am not worried about the stripes as I am about to have them changed to one of Phils super new designs.

Dent Devils.

I had them remove a similar sized circular 'dink' from my Clubby D's bonnet this week and am absolutely chuffed to bits with the result and was really impressed with the professionalism of Mike the guy who fixed it.

They need to e able to get to behind the dent to work it out, they got to mine through holes in the second skin of the bonnet panel.

They come out to you and charge £75 + VAT per panel.......

Mine was caused by a stone being thrown up by a passing truck - interesting that yours is also a Clubman, perhaps they dent easily??

Y/B - thanks for that.

I have a dent on my PW MCSC near side rear panel which was not there when I collected it a week ago. Shopping trolley is my guess as I park in a 'safe' car park at work.

Will give the guys at Dent Devils a try as this dent (admittedly very small and shallow) is all I can see and has spoilt mini for me!

No problem. That ounds like just the thing for Dent Devils - I hope they make a good job of yours as they did with mine.

It is really annoying isn't it, I couldnt stop looking at the dent, although it wasn't massive, I just knew it was there and it had to go!

Guys
Thanks for that, on to DD tomorrow as they have a guy in Swansea.

Amazing how 'big' these dings look when it is your own car.
YB you may be right, I now count 3 clubbies in this thread.

Hopefully it will all be fixed soon, where did it happen

[balmy1]

Don't know when or how it happend just found it this afternoon while washing it will probably go to the mini garage and have a smart rapair done and have my eyes removed at the same time

[balmy1]

Still n the dint front went to BMW £320 TO REPAIR Told you they would try to take my eyes as well,told me i couldn't have a smart repair as it was in the middle of the n/s/r wing and the whole lot would have t be painted and then matched to the front door.Does any body know of a dint repair company in Durham /newcastle area.Thanks Barry

Met my DentDevil man Steve this morning in Swansea.

Well pleased, dink now gone - he managed to get at it through a very small hole in the bonnet inner skin.

Had a good chat and only £50, gets my recommendation.

I'm glad you got it sorted, still can't believe the price of MINI bodyshop.

[balmy1]

dent devils can't do it ,you have to remove rear seat and door trim to get in behind the panel not there department
Chips away will fill it sand it and paint it and try to match it to the rest of the panel £200 cheaper than BMW but said he couldn't guarantee you wouldn't see it
off to a BMW recommended garage next week, he sounded more optimistic we shall see

Ah noooooo,
What do you think has caused that

[balmy1]

The wife says calmly I think it was the half brick that a passing wagon threw at us on the way to London and not to worry. Worry what does she know.
